Rich in cultural touchstones from theology to art, Europe's history reaches as far back as the birthplace of civilization itself. Almost every corner in Italy brings visitors to the site of an ancient monument or temple, including classic destinations like the Forum and the Colosseum in Rome. Here in the birthplace of the Renaissance, art lovers will come face-to-face with the legendary artistry of Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel, the medieval towers and landscapes of Tuscany, and the priceless classical sculptures of Florence. Northward, into Europe and the Alps, travelers encounter a wholly new experience—the baroque churches, cliff-top fortresses, and classical music of Austria. In this five-star Christian travel experience, you’ll travel through the centuries of art and architecture that still resonate in our culture today.
